and
Amber,

your
name
on

We'll

we'll

all
set
up
there.
I
wish
I
just
wanted
to
say
congratulations
to
all
the
new
members
on
the
board,
those
being
reelected
as
well
and
to
without
question
the
absolutely
most
diverse
board
discounties
ever
seen
they
just
look
around.
This
is
historical.
E
E
So
we
we
have
a
lot
going
on
and
we're
going
to
go
through
those
in
the
Committees
coming
up
here
in
the
next
month
for
the
new
members,
things
like
cooling
sand
out
of
the
river,
the
creation
of
a
new
Department
within
County
government
should
I
say
the
modification
of
one
from
highways
into
highways
and
waterways,
since
we're
going
to
start
working
on
the
river
ourselves
to
clean
out
access
points.
So,
while
the
Big
Fix
is
elusive,
we
have
things
that
we
can
do
so.
E
We
can
enjoy
the
river
and
that's
that's
what
we're
going
to
start
taking
charge
over
the
next
few
years.
We're
deploying
two
million
dollars
in
Grants
designed
to
build
a
cohesive
approach
to
tackling
county-wide
issues,
so
that
is
just
being
released
here
shortly
with
a
County
Board
vote
next
week
and
we're
installing
a
court
management
system
designed
to
streamline
our
Public
Safety
operations,
the
the
state's
not
helping
us
with
on
our
taxpayers
by
forcing
us
to
pay
for
things
that
normally
would
have
come
through
fees
through
the
courthouse.
E
You
know
we
we're
using
federal
tax
dollars
through
all
of
our
building
projects-
stuff,
that's
not
from
local
property
tax
owners
to
do
all
of
this
infrastructure
work,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
bringing
you
along
on
this
journey
and
getting
your
contribution
into
where
we're
going.
There's
a
lot
happening,
and
it's
a
really
good
time.
So
with
that,
if
you
have
a
few
more
pictures
to
take
with
with
family
and
friends,
please
do
so
but
migrate
down
to
the
second
floor
as
quickly
as
you
can.
E
So
we
can
take
our
board
picture
and
then
get
your
family
in
public.
That's
here
can
go
upstairs:
there's
Refreshments
upstairs
for
a
kind
of
a
department
head
new
board
member
and
current
board
member
kind
of
reception
after
this.
So
again,
thanks
for
your
service
and
with
that
Mr
Hess,
do
you
have
a
motion.
